Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 204 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 159 kt against a target of 204 kt, running 45 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 204 kt.
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 9.2 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 25 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,724 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,724 m of the 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 398 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.81 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 20 at NZCH Christchurch International Airport in 8 minutes, covering 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 20, using 1,289 m (39 % of runway). Liftoff was achieved at 152 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 6 °C, wind 6 kt from 253°, with a 3 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind.
Climb began overhead NZCH, rising from 1,195 ft asl to 36,944 ft asl, an increase of 35,750 ft in 14 minutes while covering 82 nm.
Level cruise started overhead NZHR Hanmer Springs Airport and lasted 29 minutes, covering 218 nm.
Descent commenced 13 miles southeast of Urenui, descending from 37,002 ft asl to 3,865 ft asl, a loss of 33,136 ft in 25 minutes over 137 nm.
A brief level cruise began 5 miles northeast of NZAR Ardmore Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
Descent resumed 5 miles south of NZKE Waiheke Reeve Airport, dropping from 3,746 ft asl to 2,697 ft asl, a decrease of 1,049 ft in 2 minutes across 5 nm.
A further level cruise started 5 miles east of Pakuranga and continued for 14 minutes, covering 41 nm.
The final approach to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 251.0° at 4 nm and 1,326 ft agl, descending from 1,384 ft agl to 88 ft agl in 98 seconds, with stabilisation gates scored.
Landing was executed on runway 23L, which is 3,671 m long. Threshold speed was 143 kt; touchdown occurred 399 m from the threshold at 142 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 397 fpm and a lateral deviation of 10.4 m from centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 12 °C, wind 3 kt from 0°, with a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind. Total landing distance measured 1,643 m (45 % of runway) and runway rollout alignment was off by 25.3 m from centreline.
After touchdown, the aircraft rolled out and came to a stop, the runway rollout misalignment remaining at 25.3 m from centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 500 nm in 100 minutes and used 11,602 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300ER approached runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in a stabilised configuration at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the approach was scored on the stabilisation gates. The aircraft descended from 1,384 ft agl to 88 ft agl in 98 seconds while maintaining the required parameters.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 143 kt, indicating the aircraft met the required speed for touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 399 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 142 kt that was a little fast and a firm touchdown rate of minus 397 fpm; the touchdown point was misaligned by 10.4 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,643 m, representing 45 % of the 3,671 m runway, and the rollout was misaligned by 25.3 m from the centreline.
Refine centreline tracking during the flare and rollout to reduce the 10-meter and 25-meter deviations, and adjust speed management to bring the touchdown speed closer to the target VREF while preserving the stabilised approach.
